Implementation of a constructed wetland for the sustainable treatment of inland shrimp farming water.

In the Mekong delta, inland-based shrimp breeding requires significant inflow of high-quality freshwater. In turn, discharge of substantial loads of poor-quality effluents negatively impacts adjacent water bodies and favors disease outbreaks. This project describes the implementation of a laboratory-based continuous closed recirculation aquaculture system composed of a constructed wetland (CW) with horizontal subsurface flow as a water treatment filter for mesohaline conditions, functioning under high loading rate (HLR = 1.
